I couldn't attend last night because of another engagement. I
prefer in-person meetings, as long as the environment is not
noisy. I have hearing problems when there's background noise,
even with hearing aids, and, for example, I had a lot of
difficulty when the meetings were held amidst the refrigeration
devices at St. John's Kitchen.

I also prefer locations that I can get to by either bike or
public transit. U of Waterloo is fine, also the Kitchener or
Waterloo downtowns.

I like Doug's idea of diversity of locations, within the limits
of practicality. I suggest we stay open to other possibilities.
